[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1864886, member: 38864"] Here are a couple articles to read that go into detail about the "overheating issue". The second one in particular does a good job of explaining that it's not exactly an overheating problem per se. The real issue is that the MBA has a relatively weak cooling system, which will lead to throttling of the CPU once it hits a certain load. If there was an actual overheating problem, the MacBook would be shutting down and that's not what's happening. For your usage scenarios, the need to throttle shouldn't be a regular problem, especially with the i3 since it's slower and therefore inherently cooler than the other cpu options..
